Number System - Concepts and Tricks: Rule of Simplification
If you want to test whether any number is a prime number or not take an integer
larger than the approximate square root of that number.
Let it be x. Test the divisible of the given number by every a prime number less
than x. If it is not divisible by any of them, then it is prime number; otherwise it
is a composite number (other than prime).
RULE OF SIMPLIFICATION
(i) In simplification an expression, first of all vinculum or bar must be removed.
For example: we know that
(ii) After removing the bar, the brackets are removed, strictly in the order (), {},
[].
(iii) After removing brackets, we must follow following order of operations :- (a)
of (b) division (c) multiplication (d) addition (e) subtraction.
This is also known as the rule of VBODMAS , where V, B, O, D, M, A, and S
stand for Vinculum, Bracket, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition and
Subtraction respectively.
Rule 2
The fraction whose numerator after cross multiplication gives the
greater value is greater.
Example: Which is greater: 5/8 or 9/14 ?
Solution: Step 1: cross multiply the two given fractions
